What's a daft thing you've done with Magical Tinkering? Don't worry about RAW, if the DM allowed it then so be it! I'll go first.
In the town we're in right now there's a magic shop called Swole Scrolls run by gym bro wizards. One of the guys who works there is a bit of a prankster, and he set off a scroll of Zone of Moustache in town. Anyone in the zone grew a moustache which would persist until shaved off, be they man, woman or child. So the wizard and I went round there and, while the wizard engaged him in conversation, I rolled 31 Sleight of Hand and used Magical Tinkering to make the hairs on the back of his head appear to be a moustache. The effect is tied to the follicles so he'll have to shed or pluck rather than shave. It's a purely visual effect so he can't feel it, he'll need to stand between two mirrors to see it. We've agreed that MT is equivalent in power to Prestidigitation so Dispel Magic should just nix it without a roll. But yeah, until somebody draws his attention to it he's just walking around with a moustache on the back of his head!

My Alchemist uses a sling as his main ranged weapon (I had plans of launching a vile of alchemist fire with it) but he became really good at using magic ticketing with the ammo (stones)
made them glow and launched them down a tunnel to see what was there
used the same stones as markers in the said dark tunnel to find his way back out
...In fact, he just liked having glow stones on hand... too good.
Added it to the Barbarians great axe to play the Doom OST anytime he raged
made the smelly Barbarian (he was a slob) smell like roses.
Made a "holographic" map of town
whistling stones for distraction.
cheap one-way verbal message mail system. (placed message in rock, had it delivered to said person)(The bard of the group thought they could go into business sending singing tela-stones)
Graffitied a wall calling the shop owner a thief (that didn't end well)
and he once sold a stone (with text) once as a magic item for gold. (RAW it would emit magic... )

Combined it with magic mouth to make a fully functional type to chat keyboard for our party kenku bard. Spent most of the game acting like a bad real time sports commentator.
my dm made the mistake of giving us sending stones. i made a cell phone. many shenanigans later i brought a medival magic filled world to tech the level of modern day. i even invented gnomesgram:)
